A bit of a US wave with a couple of ex-college guys about to crack the top 100. Steve Johnson is 100 this week and ranked 8th among American men with 5 more US guys right behind him. Doesn't solve the Grand Slam problem but helps with the numbers game.

You're not kidding - a ton of college guys. Jarmere Jenkins vs Mitchell Frank should be intriguing. The qualifying draw looked like the Buckeye Invitational. Devin McCarthy, Connor Smith, and Hunter Callahan all qualify with only Peter Kobelt not getting through. McCarthy took out Marcos Giron in straights.

Ray Sarmiento and Max de Vroome playing in the Netherlands this week. Ray came through qualies and de Vroome got a main draw wild card. Fellow USC teammates Eric Johnson and Johnny Wang went down in qualies

Florida's Florent Diep came through qualies but lost in the 1st round of a France future.
